Version 1.05 (8/7/00): I made a small correction in this FAQ, changing
"Teleport Omega" to "Teleport Beta", thanks to earthbound_zero@mail.com!

Version 1.0 (6/28/00): Here's the first update of this FAQ with the new format.

-=  2. Introduction -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

If you played the game EarthBound for the Super NES, you'll know about PSI. PSI
refers to the psychic powers that Ness, Paula, and Poo can learn and use
throughout the game. Jeff cannot use PSI powers, though. However, you need to
have sufficient Psychic Points, or PP, to use these powers. In this FAQ, I
divided the PSI list into 3 parts: Offense, Recover, and Assist. The Offense
PSI is used to attack enemies in battle to a degree (some enemies can use PSI
as well). The Recover PSI allows you to recover your HP, PP, and cure abnormal
status ailments. Finally, the Assist PSI boosts your stats or causes abnormal
stats on the enemies (or your group if the enemies use these powers on you!).
There are different strengths of the powers, symbolized by Greek letters in the
game. Read further in this FAQ for info on each of the PSI powers, such as what
levels the spells are learned, who learns them, PP they use, etc. Also, when I
put "N/A" and nothing else next to the Level Learned line of a spell, which
means that character enters the party with that spell. One more thing, I know
there's a small bit of info missing in the Assist PSI section, so if you can
get that info for me, I'll really appreciate it!
